Five people were injured on Monday, including two children, when a westbound sedan collided with a van on Highway 50 in Mound House.

The collision happened at 3:35 p.m., backing up westbound traffic as first responders tended to the occupants, including two children, ages 8 and 10, and two adults in the brown sedan.

The white van had one occupant.
